Roof top Tents

Thanks Pat. I took a look, but I am still unsure what will fit a Tentbox Lite XL given they say the bars need to be 90mm or less. I'm surprised at what a rabbit hole this has taken me down. I assumed it would be simpler!

Any details on why this size restriction? Maybe some details on the mounting itself ?

Because the mounting bracket for most RTT’s are usually a U clamp style and they are not wide enough to fit Rhino Rack bars because they are too beefy. You would then ditch the U clamps and use the T slot mount hardware which comes with the RTT and attach it to a mount which then attaches to the bars.

Some mounts sits the RTT flush to the bars. Some other mounts sit the RTT 2 to 3 inches above the bars which isn’t really aesthetically good and not good for centre of gravity. Some people also drill through the bars and fasten on the bottom side too.
